The "evidence" such as it is in the exit interviews with the players that have gone to the jury.

As for the "mean" think back to boot cycle #2 in the premiere this season, why did Garrett get the boot? He tried to exercise so much control in his tribe that 3 of 4 Brains resented that he wouldn't let them play the game.

That is exactly what Tony wishes he could do, and he resents it whenever anyone in his alliance does anything outside his wishes. He is power mad, and incapable of hiding it.

Now think back to Mariano his fourth time out the gate when he was finally able to employ his Godfather fear-based strategy, which was the absolutely meanest game ever. He exercised total control of his sheep, they had to do exactly what he wanted or they got punished. Early on he booted the players in his tribe who tried to play the game, or who acted outside his control. Come the merge he insisted that the other tribe be treated as pariahs and he got his way. Andrea, the one member of his tribe who wasn't totally under his spell, was totally blocked from getting her game going. And Phillip only lasted as long as he did because he decided early on to play the goat, and really Mariano didn't need to take him to the end in order to win. Because Mariano understood enough of psychology to keep his own distance from his "mean," to be respected and well liked.

Tony is a fumbling bum in comparison, and is damn lucky to have a Kass to take to the end.
